Forgiveness means to forget the mistakes of others. The one who is able to forgive is able to forget the mistakes in his future interactions even after noticing the mistakes of others. He is able to be loving and so he is able to give corrections with love. Only when there is love in one's interactions, will the corrections given will be effective. Also such a person will not be caught up with anyone's mistakes and will be free from attitudes. Even if there is a temporary feeling of negativity, if we are able to forget the mistakes of others and forgive them, we are set free from negative feelings. We are able to be light and free from the burdens of the past interactions with them. So we find ourselves successfully able to deal with others, whoever they may be.
